Revelation 9

1 The fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star from the sky which had fallen to the earth. The key to the pit of the abyss was given to him. (Abyssos g12)

And the fifth angel sounded; and I saw a star, which fell from heaven upon the earth. And there was given to him the key of the pit of the abyss. (Abyssos g12)

2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and smoke went up out of the shaft, like the smoke from a great furnace. The sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke from the pit. (Abyssos g12)

And he opened the pit of the abyss; and smoke issued from the pit, like the smoke of a furnace that is in blast; and the sun and the air were darkened by the smoke of the pit. (Abyssos g12)

3 Then out of the smoke came forth locusts on the earth, and power was given to them, as the scorpions of the earth have power.

And out of the smoke, came locusts upon the earth: and power was given them, like that which scorpions have on the earth.

4 They were told that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree, but only those people who do not have God's seal on their foreheads.

And it was commanded them, that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, nor any herb, nor any tree; but only the persons, who had not the seal of God upon their foreheads.

5 They were given power not to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it strikes a person.

And it was given them, that they should not kill them, but should torment them five months: and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion, when it striketh a person.

6 In those days people will seek death, and will in no way find it. They will desire to die, and death will flee from them.

And in those days, men will desire death, and will not find it; and they will long to die, and death will fly from them.

7 The shapes of the locusts were like horses prepared for war. On their heads were something like golden crowns, and their faces were like people's faces.

And the appearance of the locusts was this; they were like the appearance of horses prepared for battle; and on their heads, was, as it were a coronet, resembling gold; and their faces were like the faces of men.

8 They had hair like women's hair, and their teeth were like those of lions.

And they had hair, like the hair of women: and their teeth were like those of lions.

9 They had breastplates, like breastplates of iron. The sound of their wings was like the sound of chariots, or of many horses rushing to war.

And they had breastplates, like breastplates of iron: and the sound of their wings, was like the sound of the chariots of many horses rushing into battle.

10 They have tails like those of scorpions, and stings. In their tails is their power to harm people for five months.

And they had tails like those of scorpions, and stings; and with their tails they had the power of hurting men five months.

11 They have over them as king the angel of the abyss. His name in Hebrew is "Abaddon," and in Greek, he has the name "Apollyon." (Abyssos g12)

And they had a king over them, the angel of the abyss; and his name, in Hebrew, is Abaddon; and in Greek, his name is Apollyon. (Abyssos g12)

12 The first woe is past. Look, there are still two woes coming after this.

One woe is past; lo, there come yet two woes after them.

13 The sixth angel sounded. I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar which is before God,

And the sixth angel sounded; and I heard a voice from the horns of the golden altar which was before God,

14 saying to the sixth angel who had one trumpet, "Free the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates."

that said to the sixth angel having a trumpet: Loose the four angels that are bound at the great river Euphrates.

15 The four angels were freed who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year, so that they might kill one third of humanity.

And the four angels were loosed; who are prepared, for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, to slay the third part of men.

16 The number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million. I heard the number of them.

And the number of the warrior horsemen was two myriads of myriads: and I heard their number.

17 Thus I saw the horses in the vision, and those who sat on them, having breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of lions. Out of their mouths proceed fire, smoke, and sulfur.

And while I looked on the horses in the vision, and on them who sat on them I saw that the breastplates were of fire, and of jacinth, and of sulphur. And the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and from their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and sulphur.

18 By these three plagues were one third of humanity killed: from the fire, the smoke, and the sulfur, which proceeded out of their mouths.

And by these three plagues, a third part of the men were slain; namely, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the sulphur, which issued from their mouths.

19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths, and in their tails. For their tails are like serpents, and have heads, and with them they harm.

For the power of the horses was in; their mouth, and in their tails; for their tails were like serpents, having heads to strike with.

20 The rest of humanity, who were not killed with these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, that they would not worship demons, and the idols of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, and of stone, and of wood; which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk.

And the residue of men who were not slain by these plagues, repented not of the works of their hands, so as not to worship demons, and idols of gold, and of silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which cannot see, nor hear.

21 They did not repent of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their sexual immorality, nor of their thefts.

And they repented not of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their whoredom, nor of their thefts.
